A Second Chance

Prologue

Issei POV

Where did it all go wrong...? I did everything they asked of me... Everything! And this is how they repay me?!

Those damn devils! If it weren't for this stupid collar, I'd have been long gone!

*sighs* But it's no use. As long as this damn thing is around my neck, I can't use my power, or sacred gear.

At least I can still talk to Ddraig. There's a plus. If I was forced to remain in this damn cell by myself, I'd most definitely have gone insane.

For those wondering how I ended up locked in the deepest part of the Underworld's prison, allow me to explain.

About 6 years ago, I was just an ordinary high school boy. That is until I encountered my first love, and murderer, Raynare. A fallen angel who was sent to kill me for my sacred gear.

While I was on the brink of death, a crimson haired beauty pulled me back to the land of the living. At the time, I had considered that my second chance at life, but only if I knew what was in store for me.

The crimson haired beauty in question is Rias Gremory, my former master. I say former because I was able to release myself from her service with the help of my partner and best friend, Ddraig.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, let me tell you about my time with the Gremory Household.

It was fun. Despite all that's happened. My first two years with them was some of the most fun I've had in my life. Yes, I nearly died more than a couple of times, but it was so I could get stronger, and be able to protect those that I care about and loved.

Rias. Asia. Akeno. Koneko. All women who I dedicated my life to protecting... Now, I couldn't care less about what happens to them.

It started around the time I was up for promotion to high-class devil. For some odd reason, I was informed that I was being promoted, but I was not allowed to take the test. When I asked why, I was told "It's not the right time." Whatever the hell that was supposed to mean.

I later found out that the reason I was never allowed to become high-class, was because Rias didn't want to lose her precious Red Dragon Emperor.

That's when it hit me. She never cared about me. Just my power. Kinda hypocritical when you think about it. She wants people to look at her as Rias, not Rias Gremory. But she only cares about my power?! Give me a fucking break!

*sighs* Anyways, the same was true for the other girls as well. That's when I realized there was no place for me in that peerage. So I left.

That's when I had Ddraig work on purging those damn pawn pieces from me. The process was more painful than anything I had endured up until then, but it was oh so worth it in the end.

I got those damn pieces out of my body, and I was a fully fledged dragon now.

With my new found freedom, I spent the next year just wandering the world, and hiding from the supernatural. I could never stay in one place for too long. Due to the devils constantly searching for me. And eventually, my luck ran out.

Now, normally when there's a devil search for a person. Who they send depends on who they're looking for. And since I'm a powerful dragon with the power of the Red Dragon Emperor. I didn't get rank and file devils. Oh no, I got the devil kings themselves

Sirzechs Lucifer. Serafall Leviathan. Ajuka Beelzebub. And Falbium Asmodeus.

When they found me, they tried arguing that I hadn't repaid my debt to Rias for saving my life?!

Bull-Fucking-Shit!!! I saved that bitch more time than I can count! If anything, she owes me!

But, of course, they weren't having any of my reasoning. So I tried to fight my way out. And I surprised them, and myself, with how well I was able to fight back against two super devils, and two ultimate-class devils. Had I fought them one-on-one, I know I could've wiped the floor with each of them.
